easiest party ever - construction

A few weeks ago I did promise to share the easiest party ever.... and we have held more than a few. I'm sure this story will be more exaggerated over time. we did get our youngest a pile of dirt for his birthday and a load of old diggers from clean up to add to his collection ( there needed to be a few to go around). A huge undertaking involving several wheelie bins, lots of digging and a frantic late night run. ( our local park had had a resurfacing and the council said we were welcome to it


it needed to be there in the morning and not before.


 The big kids made a flag and gathered all the diggers old and new to pop on top. we also placed a few bits of wood near the pile to see if they would be used - they were
Add 12 friends wearing old clothes, bringing diggers with them and a sunny morning and you have hours of fun. Plans were made,  ( inspired by the washing powder commercial you know the one where kids are really having a ball making something on the beach)


 So much fun to watch with a hot cup of tea, adults started and finished conversations and the kids were having a ball.
